Educational Q&A

The verse highlights disciplined urgency in a martial context: true prowess is not only bravery but prompt preparedness, proper equipment, and coordinated action under a responsible command.

Sañjaya issues a direct instruction to two eminent chariot-warriors: arm themselves immediately (armor, sword, bow), mount the chariot, and remain ready while awaiting his arrival or further direction.
